It was later euthanized by its owners, with CMPD on scene.
Police said the bull was euthanized due to the animal being a big concern for public safety, as well as an animal traffic hazard.
Two citations were issued in connection with this case; Level 1 one for restraint of animals and another for Level 1 nuisance.
CMPD said this case has been assigned to a lead animal control officer to investigate permits, licenses, or agricultural exceptions.
